Are age spots, melasma or other dark patches affecting your confidence? Hyperpigmentation treatments can safely assist with reducing the effects of sun exposure, hormone fluctuations, blemishes and scarring stress on your skin, whatever your skin type.

Stress alert! When our bodies face a challenge, such as sun exposure or pregnancy, our pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) can go into overdrive. The result is dark or discoloured patches on our skin – and this is what we call hyperpigmentation.

The most common types of pigmentation are sunspots (also called 'age spots’), melasma (also called ‘hormonal pigment’) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is the result of acne and scarring.

The good news is there's a range of Pigmentation Removal treatments that can help fade pigmentation and even out your skin tone, whatever your skin type. You’ll be ready-to-glow again in no time.

Why IPL? Reduce ingrown hairs, hair becomes finer with each treatment, convenient and cost effective. Laser Hair Removal works on medium to dark pigmented hair, and most people see a permanent hair reduction after 8- 12 Laser Hair Removal treatments. Laser Hair Removal isn’t effective on red, grey or blonde hair.

While Laser Hair Removal is considered less painful than other techniques such as waxing, you can expect some minor discomfort. Many clients say the treatment feels like slightly prickly sunburn. Some treatment areas, such as the bikini line, Brazilian or upper lip, may be more sensitive than other areas, such as legs or underarms.

The medical-grade laser delivers a focused light that is absorbed by the red blood vessels. The beam directs intense heat to the damaged vessels, causing a collagen contraction and coagulation of the contents.

This either destroys the damaged vessel or causes the vessel walls to contract, effectively closing it off from further blood flow, which reduces redness and visibility of broken capillaries.
